North Point State Park is a state-owned, public recreation area located on Chesapeake Bay in Edgemere, Baltimore County, Maryland. A portion of the state park's grounds were once the site of Bay Shore Park, which was one of the state's premiere amusement parks during the first half of the 20th century. The park features restored remnants of the old amusement park as well as facilities for swimming, picnicking, bicycling, and hiking. The Black Marsh wildlands make up half of the park's area.〔 A satellite facility, North Point State Battlefield, opened in Dundalk in 2015. The historical landmark commemorates a portion of the site where the Battle of North Point was fought during the War of 1812.〔 ==History== Evidence suggests that the area was first occupied by humans 9000 years ago. During the War of 1812, it was on the route traveled by British troops intent on invading Baltimore from the southeast and several skirmishes were fought there. The site was used for farming for some three and a half centuries prior to its conversion to parkland.〔
